compare the granite countertops and quartz countertops
7/13/2010
In recent years, granite countertops have become a must-have in modern, upscale kitchens. But homeowners in the know have begun to discover that countertops offer the same benefits as granite - and even outperforms it in some aspects!
Quartz is highly resistant to scratches and stains.
Quartz is actually stronger than granite. (But remember, this means quartz is heavier, too!)
In terms of cutting and installing slabs, quartz is easier to handle and not as likely to break or crack.
Within a slab, quartz is more likely to have uniform color and pattern than granite, which can vary.
Granite requires sealing (and subsequent resealing later), but quartz does not.
Maintenance is a Breeze with Quartz
Now that you've met this magnificent mineral, it's time to select the perfect tiles or countertops for your home. So quash those qualms about quartz countertops, and give your kitchen the natural sparkle only Mother Earth can provide.
